Wow thats better than the iPhone. Much quicker. Although I still prefer a full hardware keyboard on a smartphone.

And apparently you only need to have the camera uncovered, powered up, and running at all times to use it! Wow!

I believe that's what happens with the n95's front camera which is used for light detection at all times... so its no big deal

@Iscariote - Read zeug24's response. Engadget got it wrong, the software uses the accelerometer built into the N95. It doesn't use the camera at all. Neither does the light sensor, actually.

acctually no, the N95 DOES have a motion sensor, it always had, but it was only used to determine the orientation on a picture:
